Today The Glam Pad is thrilled to introduce a very special guest… one you will frequently be seeing moving forward as we share a very special announcement… keep reading! Jenny Caulk is the founder of Fursatile, a company that connects people and pets with beautiful yet functional décor and products for the home.

In 2015 a Cavalier King Charles puppy named Cooper stole Jenny’s heart and home. Inspired by the “picture perfect” rooms featured on The Glam Pad, she wanted to create a beautiful, magazine-worthy home for Cooper and herself but couldn’t find products that were stylish, functional, and made for the entire family. For over a year, Jenny worked on designing and sourcing quality-made materials. Drop cloths evolved into Protective Covers, and a Tory Burch shoe box transformed into a patented Step Ottoman. Her dream of “connecting people and pets beautifully” became a reality when Jenny launched Fursatile in 2019, stepping down from a career that included global marketing and branding. Fursatile quickly developed a loyal following among the nation’s leading interior designers, stylish pet owners, and celebrities, even gaining the attention of Oprah in her coveted O List: Pet Edition.

After losing her father suddenly, Jenny channeled the values she learned from him – honesty, hard work, determination, and an entrepreneurial spirit – into her business. Thanks to the power of Instagram, Fursatile became not only a business, but a dedicated community of pet lovers (#fursatilefamily). This community has walked beside Jenny every step of the way, especially through the loss of her mother – Fursatile’s biggest cheerleader – in January 2022.

“Her death has been devastating and the love, support, and guidance she provided can never be replaced. Losing someone is never easy, but much like what happened when my father died and I started Fursatile, I came to realize that in addition to loving Fursatile and Cooper,” said Jenny, “I needed something new to pour my heart and soul into.”

Jenny and Andrea, founder of The Glam Pad, met in the fall of 2021 and instantly realized they were kindred spirits. They quickly discovered their shared values, entrepreneurial spirit, passion for dogs, and design aesthetic. They were even born in the same year, just two months apart! For Andrea, the challenge of juggling motherhood and The Glam Pad was becoming increasingly difficult, and she had been praying to find a solution that would enable her to maintain editorial control, yet relinquish much of the business development necessary to take TGP to the next level. With a shared vision and complementary skill sets, Jenny and Andrea are thrilled to partner together as they and their team take TGP to new heights.

Still mourning the loss of her mother, Jenny will infuse her cherished memories and lessons learned into TGP through her new role as Managing Director. From an early age, Jenny’s mother introduced her to the world antiques, shared in her love for historical dramas and period films, and inspired her to find beauty in all things: animals, plants, flowers, and the joy evoked from everyday experiences such as a beautifully made bed that welcomes a tired soul, a home cooked meal passed down from generations, a room adorned with items representing the past and present, etc. Jenny’s parents taught her that home is not just a house, it’s a haven… A place where everyone is welcome and the door is always open, day or night.

“Jenny is the perfect embodiment of everything TGP represents, and I could not be more excited and honored to welcome her onboard as my partner in crime and as a dear friend,” said Andrea. “The fresh energy, perspective, and ideas Jenny brings to the table will be delightful to watch unfold as she shares the same warmth and sense of community experienced through Fursatile.”

As Managing Director, Jenny will foster relationships with designers, tastemakers, and brands while increasing engagement and building a renewed community for TGP followers. She will oversee exciting new projects on the horizon, establish strategic goals with Andrea, and work with TGP team to achieve exponential growth. Jenny remains committed to the continued growth of Fursatile, and she and Andrea look forward to collaboratively supporting both brands.
